Wait Times for Citizenship

Certain military personnel may expedite their citizenship applications without meeting a residency requirement.

In all other cases, people may apply for U.S. citizenship after five years.

Other Requirements

Residence and good moral character requirements must be met in order to successfully obtain citizenship.

You should consult with a New Orleans citizenship attorney before filing for citizenship if you are a lawful permanent resident who has:
